Tracking the modern history of Hulme and its neighbours, from community organising and activism, through deindustrial and post-war physical change, join writer and critic Hayley Flynn for a walking tour to discover just why comedian Bob Mortimer felt in "the apple of the eye of British culture" as a former resident of Hulme.
Much maligned on the small screen of 90s northern TV, Hulme was simultaneously the catalyst for northern culture as we know it. This autumn, Hulme has been proposed as one of six areas to be engulfed in the city centre in new boundary classifications; we ask who benefits and what happens next?
Hayley Flynn, as Skyliner, runs critical thinking walks, advises on ethical places and art, and trains young people in how to demand better from the cities they live in. Her book published by Manchester University Press is in the works.
